Escapism: Ilustration

 This section is intended to show how via the medium of art people can create characters and escape from the real world. The story in this set of images is that the person photographed has an alter ego that is draw in a leather jacket. The alter ego is somewhat tougher and "cooler" somewhat.

The image above is intended to show the alterego interacting with the artist and how their personalities are different.
 This image is to show the artist and the alter ego moprhing together as they are in essence the same person. I like to think in this image the arist has realised the alter ego is a part of his mind and is not a fictional character.
In the above image I wanted to show the drawing being rubbed out as the alterego starts to disappear. This should show that the alterego isn't an person by itself and exists alone only in drawing. I like to think of this image as the artist realising he doesn't need the alterego anymore and as such is rubbing him from the page.
In this image the artist is walking away from the blank notpad alone. On one hand it shows that in essence he was alone the whole time and had nobody else with him. I also like to think it ends the story by showing the artist moving on, leaving the notepad and his form of escapism behind.
